And They Are Sinking Lower *Open Thread*

Honestly, this next example just blew me away on a number of levels from the race baiting to the complete lack of ethics and morals. This latest example comes to us courtesy of the Georgia Democratic Party, and Hot Air has the story:

[…] One of the fun subplots of this campaign is watching Democrats, starting with The One himself, feign anger at Republicans for using fear to gain an advantage while they scaremonger in increasingly cartoonish ways themselves. Mark Udall went so nuts with his “Cory Gardner hates women” message in Colorado that the Denver Post finally threw up its hands in disgust and endorsed Gardner. Now, with two weeks to go and red-state Democrats desperate to survive, it’s kitchen-sink time.

Follow the first link up top for more photos from the flier. What does Ferguson, Missouri have to do with electing Michele Nunn to the Senate and Jimmy Carter’s grandson to the governorship in Georgia? Nothing and everything. The Times previewed the strategy behind this week’s multifront Democratic racial clusterfark on Sunday:

The confidential memo from a former pollster for President Obama contained a blunt warning for Democrats. Written this month with an eye toward Election Day, it predicted “crushing Democratic losses across the country” if the party did not do more to get black voters to the polls…

“Anybody who looks at the data realizes that if the black vote, and the brown vote, doesn’t turn out, we can’t win. It’s just that simple,” said Representative Marcia L. Fudge of Ohio, the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, referring to African-American and Latino voters. “If we don’t turn out, we cannot hold the Senate.”

African-Americans could help swing elections in Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina and possibly Arkansas, a New York Times analysis of voter data shows, but only if they turn out at higher-than-forecast rates. They will also be important in Kentucky, where Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Democratic Senate candidate, refuses to say if she voted for President Obama — a stance that black leaders including Ms. Fudge fear will depress turnout.

Isn’t that flier just unbelievable?? It would seem they are implying a white Democrat would never let something like this happen, oh no. And if you want to make sure a black kid (who just broke the law, broke a police officer’s face, and was threatening the cop again) doesn’t get shot by a white cop, vote Democrat!! Just heinous.

But wait, there’s more and it includes similar machinations in other states:

Again, that was Sunday. One day later, the mysterious pro-Kay Hagan “lynching” flier warning about the GOP impeaching Obama appeared in Fayetteville, North Carolina. (As Noah noted earlier, the local NAACP chief defended the imagery as reflecting “what the community feels.”) One day after that, Georgia Democrats are hinting to black voters that their children might very well end up shot by white cops unless they turn out for Nunn and Carter. Wendy Davis’s dopey attack on Greg Abbott over interracial marriage yesterday was also aimed at terrifying minorities, although in that case it’s Latinos who are the target. There’s no reason to think Democrats won’t replicate this tactic for Landrieu, Pryor, and Grimes too in the next 14 days. It’s effective, and the media’s not going to shame them over it. The media agrees with them. If it really is racist to support Republicans, how can it be “scaremongering” to emphasize that point, even in ridiculously demagogic ways? […] (Click here to read the rest.)

The Democrats sure are desperate this year. Over in South Carolina, the Democrats’ gubernatorial nominee, Vincent Sheheen, is accusing Nikki Haley of killing kids. Three children were killed by their guardians within the Department of Social Services. Sheheen wants everyone to know Nikki Haley was actually the murderer.

Except Sheheen got basic facts wrong to make his case. He ran with the ad, then had to run away from his ad. Again, he got basic facts wrong trying to pin three deaths on Governor Nikki Haley. […] (Click here to read the rest.)

Except a variation of that same ad cropped up again this month. When I saw it for the first time the other day, my immediate response to my partner was, “did he just accuse Haley of killing children??” Judge for yourselves (around the 20 second mark):

So, yeah, apparently my governor is singlehandedly responsible for the deaths of children. Wow, that is quite a charge. I guess he decided not to walk that one back after all, huh? (Oh, and as for the other charges, Sheheen played fast and loose with the truth as this fact checking article highlights.

And then there are places like Cook County, IL, where a vote for a Republican automatically becomes a vote for a Democrat, as this Republican Candidate, Jim Moynihan, found out, much to his surprise. And just HOW did he find this out? He was trying to vote for HIMSELF when the switch was made.

Vote for Democrats or cause a Ferguson! Vote for Sheheen so babies don’t die! Get Out The Vote For Democrats! And if you DON’T vote for a Democrat, we’ll just change it so you do!

Good grief, there really are no depths to which these folks will sink, are there? Just deplorable, and offensive as all get out. Tell me what your policies are, what you will do to make the state better, don’t make crap up and sling it around, using race baiting or implying someone is directly responsible for the deaths of children or changing votes alrogether. That should be beneath EVERY politician, shouldn’t it? It’s a shame that apparently it isn’t…

just start humming ” Running Scared” around all the dems you know. That is what they are doing. they bought backtrack in 2008 and 2012 and attacked anyone who tried to tell them about him. in 2014 he is all theirs

I can hum that and I can also tell every Dem I know that I am surprised that they would vote for people who would say such things. Not surprising because here in Wisconsin there is little that Scott Walker has not been accused of.

I have stopped giving my Democrat “friends” a pass on voting for such scum. Birds of a feather IMO. If you vote for it you approve it and that makes you as bad as they are. Dem voters are scum too IMO.

I’ve been watching this on the news – still so many unanswered questions, AND the gunman is still on the loose. Prayers for the soldier shot, and that they will be able to secure the gunman before he can do more damage…

Exactly, Helen. But they have made him out to be a saint, and completely obliterated the reality of who he was and what he did. So now he has become this glorified martyr, a symbol of how poorly blacks are treated by white cops in this country rather than showing him for who he was – a thug who attacked a police officer and hurt him badly, and who died because of his own actions.

Very good reporting, Cuz! Lots of info!
The Ferguson/racebaiting poster forgot to mention that of the 67% black population there, only 12% vote (that was according to their own Democratic state legislator). That number is probably too high, IMO.
So there’s that fact, being omitted by political Dem. thugs—-and there are many other facts too, I’m quite sure…
Also, my guess is that the COMPLETE Michael Brown autopsy results (with a fully completed drug test) will not be released until AFTER the mid terms. I’ll just bet he was on crack or PCP…or something stronger than just marijuana.

I saw somewhere (Biz Pac? Legal Insurrection? A friend at Facebook?) that they were letting out this info abt Brown bit by bit to help people get their heads around what really happened. Sure would have been nice had our gov’t and the Pro. Race Baiters not jumped in there with both feet ginning up this violence and violent reaction to his death. Just sayin’.

You pointed out the reality of what race-baiters Jackson and Sharpton are doing to the black community.

I would suspect that many of those people support the values a man of peace and decency like Martin Luther King. Or of current day black leaders like Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Tim Scott and Dr. Ben Carson. They fear to speak out just like the moderate Muslims do.

This is happening in our country aided and abbetted by the MSM. The media celebrates these two scumbags while vilifying the decent men and women who would lift the black population up rather than drag them down.

If the media and the Feminists have their way the same thing will happen to women too.

Great Roger Kimball piece about media bias coming from the NYT. I had to laugh because the paragraph he highlights, about us white racist people is exactly where I had stopped reading the NYT nonsense yesterday. Everytime I think there might be a chance that the NYT would regain some integrity, they prove they have not. Still shilling for Obama instead of reporting. How sad is that and how sad that they cannot simply tell the truth?

I guess we won’t know how low they can go since they can’t seem to help themselves and keep going lower. It doesn’t seem to matter to them that people are losing faith not just in their government but in the media that is supposed to inform them.

My pleasure, Marge. Honestly, it choked me up watching it. While what happened in Canada is small in number by comparison to 9/11, still – to have these kinds of terrorist attacks are unsettling, to put it mildly. So good for Pittsburgh for letting Canada know we stand with her.
